This a logical and well laid out article. Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is the only practical solution that we know of to effectively manage rising temperatures in the short to medium term as we finalize the move away from carbon energy sources. Given the risks from rising CO2 levels, SRM needs to be taken more seriously.
Totally clickbait the idea of testing out different lenses is great but in order to see behind the wall he just puts the camera higher around the wall and then makes the picture.

I was personally expecting a breakthrough or a mechanism that is smaller and doesn't go above the object in order to make a picture from the simulated lenses.

A PA being able to stop ticket holders from going back to their seats because they got a snack sounds like a lot of interference to me.
I had a very fine idea about what the article would be about from reading the title.

You’re being unreasonable about this IMO.

> There must be a reason they use pure oxygen, as regular compressed air, also breathable, would not have the same intense reactivity.

Pure oxygen at 1/5th standard pressure has the same effect as air at standard pressure, and assuming nitrogen and oxygen compress similarly you can either fit 5 times more in the same canister, or you can have a canister 1/5th the size and weight.
Do you have any evidence that it's been used less and less?

Nah.. it means you're cool steeling others creativity.
It's a strong signal that your writing from the POV of a person who doesn't object to stomping on the shoulder of giants.
Nice try, dear author.
Alternatively, please consider that automation is what actually empowers technological innovations of the last decades, that the entire AI path is a red herring; a wasteful nondeterministic red herring, a mistake.

Perhaps THAT is why we roll our eyes, not our impatience at how we can obtain the alleged benefits of the application of such monstrous poo pipelines.

My opinion, of course, but i will never make peace with what I regard as a bad idea, fundamentally speaking.
I spent 3 years reflecting on this about a decade ago, and concluded that I really like fixing things that aren't working. There's no big or special reason behind what I do, just an understanding that things are broken and I have the skills to make them work. I apply this to human problems in technical teams these days, mostly around trying to persuade them that there is value in websites not being garbage, but anything that moves the needle in the right direction is enough to get me out of bed in the morning.

One of my favorite memories is Christmas year 2000, when I was with my father and my grandparents on his side, and my father had bought a PlayStation 2 for me. Me and him stayed up long playing Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.

We were a bit scared to even stop playing, because we didn’t have any memory card to save progress on at first. But we left the console powered on over night and resumed playing the next day, and did the same for the next few days and then my father went and bought a memory card so we could save the progress.

Good times :)

More or less the same as you just did? i.e. these were independent branches just like chimps and humans.

Albeit there was some mixing even in the areas settled by Anatolian farmers. According to current estimates the WHG population was very low to begin with and they continued living alongside farmers for quite a while (due to both groups preferring different environments/soil types) so it probably was more gradual rather than direct replacement/genocide.
It's great that he revisited this problem.

Title: JAS: A x86 Assembler Framework Seeking Contributors
After more than a year of Hard Work, JAS Is Partially Ready for Developers!

The low-level development community has a reason to celebrate. JAS, a modern assembler framework built with speed, flexibility, and extensibility in mind, is now partially ready and looking for contributors to take it to the next level.

JAS was designed from the ground up to empower developers by simplifying the assembler design process while maintaining the ability to generate efficient binaries. Whether you're writing code for fun, tinkering with embedded systems, or contributing to the open-source ecosystem, JAS aims to bridge the gap between traditional assemblers and modern programming needs.

Jas allows developers to interface with the assembler using structs pragmatically, especially helpful for projects like interpreters and compilers that don't need another useless abstraction like outputting assembly syntax in their code.

Check out the project here: https://github.com/cheng-alvin/jas

The rarity of such events (as outlined by TFA) is probably a major reason, even more so as they seem to generally be caused more by maintenance and from places with less than stellar incident reporting.

While there is some amount of proactivity in aircraft safety I'm not sure there are people with enough free time that they can make up failure modes or trawl through every minor incident report until (again as in the case of TFA) prompted by an actual failure, unless one of the minor incidents is itself proactively raised as a major risk avoided by blind luck.
Super cool series of articles! :)
Oh I love this style of gaming. Brings memories. Im almost at a million dollars, and I got a wasp lol
I think there are a couple of problems with taking macOS as the so-called North Star of the immutable OSes.

First of all, macOS doesn't have package management at the core OS. You can't update anything brought in as the part of the OS from libraries to utilities like zsh, perl, even cp. .pkg files bring applications in to mutable parts of the operating system, and can be removed. However, OS updates are always brought in as images and applied as deltas.

In Linux, you need a way to modify this immutable state in an atomic way, package by package, file by file way. That'd work if you "unseal, update, seal" while using EXT4 FS. If you want revisions, you need the heavier BTRFS, instead, which is not actually designed for single disk systems to begin with.

You can also use overlays, but considering the lifetime of a normal Linux installation is closer to a decade (for Debian, it can be even eternal), overlays will consume tons of space in the long run. So you need to be able to flatten the disk at some point.

On the other hand, NixOS and Guix are obsessed with reproducibility (which is not wrong, but they're not the only and true ways to achieve that), and make things much more complicated. I have no experience with RPM-OSTree approach.

So, if you ask me we need another, simpler approach to immutable Linux systems, which doesn't monkey patch tons of things to make things work.

> But someone has done that. macOS is POSIX.

Yes, but it's shipped as a set in stone monolithic item, with binary delta updates which transform it to another set in stone item. You can't customize the core OS. Can you? Even SIP sits below you, and has the capability to stop you with an "Access denied." error even if you're root on that system. It's a vertically integrated silicon to OS level monolithic structure.

> SteamOS just works for most people.

SteamOS is as general purpose as a PlayStation OS or car entertainment system. It's just an "installable embedded OS". Their requirements are different. Building and maintaining a mutable distro is a nightmare fuel already, making it immutable yet user customizable is a challenge on another level.

It's not impossible, it's valuable, but we're not there yet. We didn't find the solutions, heck even can't agree on requirements and opinions yet.
Because security at airports is mostly security theater to make passengers feel safe.

People are generally not afraid of terrorists hijacking or bombing trains, so security theater isn't necessary there.

Both of those are things you could rig up yourself, which is the point of RPi. If you're interested in finding suitable touch pads, have a look at the ergonomic keyboard community as they do a lot of fabrication and integration.

Version of YouTube. I want a way to limit what my kids watch on there by locking them down to certain channels.
> Worst case, you hit the emergency stop

You don't even need to do that, because most trains and pretty much every high-speed train has some sort of dead man's switch, so the driver leaving their seat would automatically enable emergency brake in short order as they would if the driver had e.g. fallen unconscious.
Yes it's quite a basic list at the moment. When I have some more time I'll integrate all of the tools in the awesome-cli list and more. Add the RSS to your feed!

As a kid born on X’mas eve, Christmas has been special to me, even in the dusty provincial non-Christian town of Central India.

After moving to Germany, and having a kid, I appreciate Christmas (Weihnachtsferien) even more nowadays. What a wonderful season of festivity

May this festival season bring happiness and joy to you and your loved ones.
I tried new languages almost daily for Advent of Code this year, with just syntax highlighting (if it was easily available). Not getting little pop-up suggestions wasn't a blocker.

Some languages like haskell where there's a lot of underlying philosophy different from other languages was hard, but it wasn't hard because of things an IDE would help with.
This is all very good advice. Frankly, it’s common sense, but it’s good to have some data to support it.

I have several issues with the framing, though. (I understand the authors might be intentionally gloss over the problematic aspects).

- There’s nothing “small” or “micro” about these acts. Most of the people I’ve worked with would have a hard time doing any of this. Most managers/leaders I’ve known are simply unable to behave this way. Maybe after a few years of psychotherapy…

- These practices tend to weaken authority and hierarchy. Organizations will always resist adopting something so radical.

- This approach might have the same goals as DEI, but it’s not DEI by any stretch. The methods are basically the opposite of DEI’s. It reminds me of Egoless Engineering, for instance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42311069
The difference between stock and AI would be how they came to be "free". Stock comes from people posing. AI comes from stealing the peoples poses.
The ancestors of pretty much all Europeans could only have come in contact with the Neanderthals in the Middle East so there probably was too much movement and mixing etc. for something like that to survive.

However it’s hypothesized that during the neolithic farmers immigrating from Anatolia/etc. lived alongside the hunter gatherer communities for quite a while. The types of environments preferred by hunter gatherers didn’t have the soil suitable for early agriculture.

But there probably was still quite a but of friction and violence. Also both groups were very different phenotypically, Western Europeans had very dark/black skin and often blue eyes while the middle eastern immigrants had pale skin and dark eyes.
Just ChromeOS? Firefox on Mac sucks.

Here is one example: Firefox's tracking of the mouse cursor is broken, and often (yes, it's inconsistent) applies a vector translation so when trying to click something like a button or menu, the cursor needs to be about 100 x-y pixels away from the target. Only Firefox native UI is affected. These are My_First_Program.app tier bugs that should not exist in mature, 20 year old software.

Phoenix 0.1 didn't have this many beginner bugs. Mozilla has lost its way and only continues to exist because Google funds them to be a paper tiger competitor. Opera sold out to the Chinese. Microsoft gave up and now simps Google. Apple only supports their own platform. What is left?

I understand the idea but I don't think that it is beneficial in the end.

Access to the dataset is needed to understand why we get a given result. First from a transparency point of view to check if results make sense and why one model is favored compared to another one.

But also, it is needed to understand why a model will perform badly on some aspect to be able to determine how to improve the model.
I don't celebrate it but I do have a memory.

It was at my first job and first time away from home. I was single and so was a colleague from work.

There was no one in the office that night. So we installed unreal tournament, played "mistress of Christmas" out loud, ordered in some food from a nearby restaurant and played a lan game till past midnight. Then we went home.
My average friend doesn't care about devtools, only if they can watch YouTube in silence
2 dead (both United Pacific employees, I assume train crew) and 3 light injuries from a train crashing into a truck, derailing, and hitting a building I think is pretty good evidence that using a train as your kinetic delivery is not a great way to do terrorism.

You don't need social media to be aware of what's going on in the world.

At 13 (early 2000ish) I was reading the newspapers my parents brought home and debated a friend of mine who in turn read his parents' newspapers - mutually exclusive sets from opposite ends of the political spectrum.

I need ask: when is the best moment to, as a parent, introduce a young person to the news cycle? You'll inevitably have to since they're on their way to become voters and taxpayers.
I remember David Beazley of SWIG fame saying that he uses this as a metric. Include stuff in the course that makes people say... " I don't know how that's useful but damn that is cool".

Ruby has the nicest object-oriented design (everything is an object) outside of smalltalk (IMHO).

In contrast to the mess that is Python. For instance, in Ruby it is natural that each or map are methods of Array or Hash rather than global functions which receive an Array or Hash argument.

This goes as far as having the not operator '!' as a method on booleans:

false.! == true

Once you have understood it, it is a very beautiful language.

It sounds nice; although even with basic emacs: change the definition, compile, step through the compile errors macro-replacing. It's pretty fast and not really common.

Non-compiled languages suck though, but you shouldn't use those for big things

That has been the story of every dynamic language since forever, thankfully the whole AI focus has made JITs finally matter in CPython world as well.

Personally I have learnt this lesson back in 2000's, in the age of AOLServer, Vignette, and our own Safelayer product. All based on Apache, IIS and Tcl.

We were early adopters of .NET, when it was only available to MSFT Partners and never again, using scripting languages without compilers, for full blown applications.

Those learnings are the foundations of OutSystems, same ideas, built with a powerful runtime, with the hindsight of our experiences.

That’s a good starting point. The temperature delta issue remains: adding and subtracting temperatures should create a different unit. Thankfully there aren’t a lot of non-linear units.
Hi bro
> if the carnival won’t let kids play

But this is not a carnival. It is some weird museum piece which happens to exhibit former carnival fair equipment. On the other hand there are many many carnivals and similar entertainment all around. That's what I'm saying. The era of fun is not gone. You can ride carnival rides. Just not these ones.

If there were no more carnivals, then you would be right that the era of fun has been gone. That is not the case.

> fun was only permitted on these for a season, literally.

And that is true about these rides. But you can't leap from that to the general and declare a whole era to be gone.
Thanks a lot but I don’t think it’s that, I’ve been aware of raindrop for quite some time (even before I knew of this one I think) and this app only had a paid tier, no free/selfhosted options (which is why I didn’t bother making an account.)

(Just thinking out loud.. if I were to find all HN threads discussing such apps (maybe searching for raindrop or pocket?) via the search I might find it more quickly.)
> Hydrogen escape on Earth occurs at ~500 km altitude at the exobase (the lower border of the exosphere) where gases are collisionless. Hydrogen atoms at the exobase exceeding the escape velocity escape to space without colliding into another gas particle.

> For a hydrogen atom to escape from the exobase, it must first travel upward through the atmosphere from the troposphere. Near ground level, hydrogen in the form of H2O, H2, and CH4 travels upward in the homosphere through turbulent mixing, which dominates up to the homopause. At about 17 km altitude, the cold tropopause (known as the "cold trap") freezes out most of the H2O vapor that travels through it, preventing the upward mixing of some hydrogen. In the upper homosphere, hydrogen bearing molecules are split by ultraviolet photons leaving only H and H2 behind. The H and H2 diffuse upward through the heterosphere to the exobase where they escape the atmosphere by Jeans thermal escape and/or a number of suprathermal mechanisms.

Wide events are good, but watch out they don't become "god events". The event that every service needs to ingest, and, therefore, if there's new data that a service needs then we just add it onto the god event, because, conveniently, it's already being ingested. Before too long, the query that generates the wide event is getting so complex it's setting the db on fire. Like anything, there are trade offs; practical limits to how wide an event should reasonably become.
I am slowly inching towards trying out jj. I think the main issue will be if I find some issue in the git compatibility aspect. I do two kinds of work:

1. Work on smaller projects with simple histories. Git is perfectly satisfactory.

2. Work on huge projects with very complex git histories and weird legacy workflows (primarily Linux kernel).

jj is only interesting for part 2, but then it's only useful if it's easy to bridge into the Git world that everyone else uses.

But this workflow is exactly the kind of thing that seems handy. There's so much stuff that Git can totally _do_ but could just do a lot _better_.
Glad to see Estonia being number 4 in that list. We have some nice successful businesses built on Ruby.
